We progressives have our favorite states.
Sure, anyone can like New York or Massachusetts, or the entire rest of New England, but they have an advantage: incredible levels of education, which make electing Donald Trump or some other sociopath completely impossible. Then you have the Pacific Coast, with its focus on technology and entertainment. Lots of smart people with lots of money are also, not about to fall for an obvious conman whose goal seems to be crippling America.
But, subtracting out those advantages, you have places like New Mexico. Ahhhh. Breathe a sigh of relief. Can you image a neighbor of Texas with any level of gentility? It’s not easy.
Pleased (but not at all surprised) to see New Mexico in the news here.
And of course they’re right. Relieving the stress from young parents will help everyone (directly or indirectly) involved. Does anyone benefit from young people who can’t go back to work because they afford childcare? From poorly educated kids?
Ignorance has terrific value to the billionaire class. If you’re filthy rich, you really don’t want a nation full of people learning that pure market capitalism is, by its very nature, exploitative, or that the consumption of fossil fuels is destroying our planet’s capacity to support life.
The Trump administration and congressional Republicans are exceptionally good at focusing the MAGA base on problems that don’t exist.
What bathrooms should trans people use? Well, before we work ourselves into a frenzy, let’s ask ourselves if this is an issue that is really harming the good people of this nation.
Keep in mind that 60% of Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck and are struggling to afford groceries.
I would say that the meme here is “semi-true.”
It’s certainly true that he/she will be repairing broken relationships with our historical allies, but I don’t think that will be too terribly difficult. The rest of the world will be popping champagne corks the second Trump’s gone.
